The Return of Eugenia Cooney 

This video means so much to me. Thank you Eugenia for letting us in. I love you so much. :')

Anybody else jaw drop when the little girl called her gorgeous and then said she would be prettier if she wasn't dying???.... That honestly had me shook.

“ too much or not enough food, it’s all the same; just a way to cope ” wow okay I never really thought of it that way

I truly believe her getting back on camera was a recipe for relapse.

She looked so healthy and happy. It seriously breaks my heart watching this again knowing the state that she is in now.

RU-vid is getting bold with these double ads..

Am i the only one that didn't see this coming at all ? Not mad tho

I’m revisiting this in 2023 and I’m so sad to see Eugenia is the worst she has ever been. She looked so healthy and beautiful during her recovery. The color returned to her cheeks and she was glowing. I fear she hasn’t much time left in this world if she doesn’t turn herself around soon.

She looked like she was actually getting better, she seemed more herself, alive, energetic and beautiful. This is just devastating

i just can't imagine people saying her to die or kill herself, that shit is really disturbing :(

She looks like she’s hurt and damaged but keeping it all inside. Her eyes look sad although she’s smiling

I still can’t believe Shane Dawson got away with exploiting her recovery as if her eating disorder hasn’t been exploited for years. I wonder how different Eugenia’s life could have been now had this never been filmed and shared with the internet.

she was so obviously still in denial here. i’m not surprised she relapsed. but i hope she recovers again stronger.

1:22 "What makes you happy?" Eugenia: "Well coming on here and talking to you guys makes me happy" 💔😭

telling people to kill themselves is so messed up, it doesn’t matter who you say it to, you shouldn’t say it in general

Have you reached out to her ever since? She's gotten way worse. She shouldn't have returned. She should have focused on recovery. Didn't you care for her? Didn't you consider her a friend? Shane... You came out to the other side better. Please don't forget about her. I hope you're still being a friend to her in private.

Notice how her vocabulary in this video is, so much better than it is now and she’s holding tangible, coherent conversation. Her voice isn’t as squeaky, and she genuinely seems so happy

The usernames at the beiginning already wanted to make me cry

My heart dropped for Eugenia when that girl said “You’d probably look better if you weren’t dying”

This is heartbreaking. Her hair is so thick. She is so happy and full of hope. It won’t be long before her fragile heart will finally have enough. I hope she is making the best of the last days and gets off the internet and just spends time with her family and dog.

she looked like she was on the road to recovery and now seeing that she’s worse then she’s ever been makes me so sad for her

I just realize Shane posted a 1:00:16 video but its felt like 10 minutes

I love how andrew is actually a squad member instead of the camera man

She’s even skinnier now it’s unsettling I try to not watch anything related to her 😥

There were so many moments she started open up, but too bad they mostly ended up with jokes

50:23 “People treat you like there’s nothing more to you than what you’re going through” damn I felt that

I’m terrified that onision will come out of hiding to argue about this

Regardless of Shane being the wrong person for this - I can’t believe how lucid and aware she was in this video. It breaks my heart, she speaks her age, she speaks truths but it was all for nothing and just her saying what we wanted to hear. She reminds me of Rue from Euphoria, she knew exactly what she was going to start doing again when she got out of rehab. It’s so devastating. 😢

2024 here, revisiting. this disgusts me to my core. shame on you, shane.

Shane: and I oop- Eugenia: Wow! You're so good at it! She's a literal sweet heart

“I think you would be a little prettier if you weren’t dying,” how in the living hell does one respond to that

Years later here we are.... So strange how all of us have invested our energy and attention to this story for so long... but it really breaks my heart to see her decline, especially after this video was made. I and I know so many others wanted to see her recover so badly. I know many say its too late, I'm still praying for a miracle.

It's so depressing. She really is a super genuinely nice person the few times I've interacted with her. Of course she's naturally beautiful, when she's doing well, she looks like half the girls I went out with in the 2000's. When I was 16 - 17 when we were all doing the scene thing, when Myspace was important, my ex girlfriend developed an eating disorder 6 months into the relationship, or maybe it just became worse around then. I lived with her, her mom and her younger sister who walked a line between enabling and bullying her. It was torture watching someone kill themselves, while the people who were supposed to be helping were doing the opposite. We broke up, I moved back home, she's better now and we're still friends but man, I'll never forget that helpless feeling. It's so hard, like drug addiction and alcoholism are so incredibly difficult, but when you're illness is focused around not ingesting something or avoiding something like food, it's unimaginable. Then the way your body adapts so quickly to not eating, it doesn't take long before you no longer feel hunger or even remember what hunger feels like. It turns into reminding yourself that you haven't eaten in a while or realize you have no energy and are dizzy.

Shane: *opens flavored coke* Ryland: Oh no something must be wrong

*when shane uploads, the internet goes crazy...*

its so sad to watch this now in 2023 seeing how bad of a place she is in rn :(

Horrible documentary, Shane’s vanity is clearly seen here, most of the context is focused on Shane, and him, and horrible interviewing skills. Shocked how many people follow Shane. Sad.

It breaks my heart when people were telling her to kill herself.. You can tell she was hurt when they said it.

Shane, I think you need to look deeper. I feel the mother is acting really suspicious.

I am seriously in tears watching this now. She really is a sweet soul and it hurts to see her smile and joke and have a quick whit while looking beautiful, knowing she has taken a turn for the worse. This poor girl has been so ostracized by the world, did we think that was going to help?

Shane Dawson took advantage of her then and Jeffrey Star is taking advantage of her now.

I had anorexia back in middle school and it still in me,the last thing i wanna hear is “you’re too skinny eat,get help” and it’s literally happening to her by millions

"the light was doing something weird with her hair" "oh.. sorry!' "nO- OMG-"

This video only revealed that Shane is more psychologically disturbed than Eugenia.

16:55 - 17:30 was not it tbh. I'm not one to be sensitive to things, but I can only imagine for someone like eugenia you wouldn't want to say this type of things about her. Especially someone she considers a friend. The way you make fun of her but then act like you care so much about her. Watching this video again 4 years later I realize you didn't help her. You actually made it worse for her.

_off topic, but bruh... _*_uber drivers_*_ hear the most _*_tea_*

No one: Eugenia: Awwwwhhhhhhh Thank you She’s so sweet

She literally got the healthiest she’s been ever after Shane made this video. She didn’t downfall because of this video.

the fact she did not know how to open up her own back door.... just shows she has little freedom and even if that is her own choice it is not healthy. it is now 2024 and she has gone down hill fast and it is obvious to know see that she does it for clout and attention.

As someone who's been raised in an abusive home, the way she talks with a smile 24/7 is super recognizable. Edit: 4 years of therapy has taught me how to recognize masking & people pleasing behaviors. This girl is traumatized fr fr.

i’m a recovering anorexic and it’s so true when they said don’t say “you look so healthy”. sounds crazy in the scheme of things but that triggers my ED voice. thought i was the only one

I watched most of the video, and I am displeased with how this was handled. Shane was intrusive and displayed signs of cold empathy. Rather than allowing Eugenia to guide the conversation, Shane would input these different ideas into the conversation for her to talk about. It wasn't an interview. It was Shane wanting to find out the gossip and drama to get views. That stood out to me in the first 10 minutes. The way Shane reacted beforehand was more of keeping himself in this spotlight...like when he encouraged flaws in Eugenia rather than any strengths. The entire interview was a focus on how Eugenia is flawed. That stood out to me the most. Shane talks about her smiling all the time and being so nice. To me, it seemed like he was projecting inauthenticity onto her. I took it as "I'm not a nice or kind person, so why are you?" I think Shane is very shallow and likes to surround himself with drama. I don't think he had any intention of "helping" her. I think it was a transaction. "I make a video exposing you, and this is profitable for me because I get more attention." I don't think Shane is a nice or kind person. I think he is very insecure. His first interaction with Eugenia was to talk about her appearance. It was staged and set up to pry into her life. I think he preyed on Eugenia, so when she felt vulnerable enough to talk about her own struggles he could then minimize by redirecting the conversation back to himself, or exploit her and focus more on the body aspect. It would have been different if he had talked less and let her guide the conversation. I think this was about Shane gaining something outside of a relationship or friendship, I think it was purely transactional.

It's kinda sad that Shane was completely unprepared to deal with something like this and all his acolytes egged him on and hyped him up when he himself questioned whether it was his place to do it or not. It definitely wasn't.

how her face lit up when she talked about makeup was literally so precious

Eugenia "it's basically just a lot of eating" Shane: "ok ill go"

She looks incredible in this video. It’s a tragedy that things have gotten worse

This documentary was made far too early in Eugenia’s recovery. Jesus christ. You should have left her alone.

The twitch stream clips broke my heart, people are disgusting in this world honestly

it's crazy and messed up that people were actually telling her to kill herself. those people would probably lose their shit if someone said that to them.

I know she is scared because she feels that if she gets healthy people aren't going to be interested in her anymore. OMG if she only knew the power she has over her fans! If she overcame this sickness her can base would be a million times bigger than it already is! If she documented her journey back to health and did something positive for once she would definitely come out on top! Help HER bro

Was angry when this came out, even more angry now.. People with bigger platforms who are her "friends" should be stepping tf up right now and all we hear is radio silence. We spam green hearts, beg or send positive messages her way and unfortunately its not cutting it anymore. Where are you now that she needs you? Shane Dawson and the stars going live on tiktok should be ashamed of themselves, you were all for profitting off of her "recovery" but nowhere when she needs you all the most. Never cared to begin with, showed then and shows even more now.

“Oh you’re drinking a flavored Diet Coke, something must be wrong.” 😭

9:05 Shane keeping his medication in that Gucci box though

I’m currently dying from anorexia. My heart gave out and I had to have open heart surgery. I’ve suffered for many many years. I will die if I don’t get help. I would love to go to Remuda ranch as I have horses. I would love to go to any place with her. To motivate others to stop killing themselves……that’s my goal. And I would absolutely love if Eugenia would go to a partial program and maybe I could help her and others. I’ve lost so many years to anorexia. Much love from Kentucky Lesley and medical service dog Jake.

This hits different when you know Kate the “therapist” knew for a long time about Eugenia

Poor girl has had hate for her eating disorder for years and when she finally admits to it you all think she’s hiding things or lying. What’s wrong with people can’t you just leave her alone.

Ryland "You're drinking a flavored diet coke something Must be wrong."

Shane used to be my favorite youtuber, i practically grew up with him when I was younger. But this video solidified for me that he has turned into a nasty, money grubbing narcisst. He took one of the most vulnerable girls on youtube, puts her in front of 33 million people when shes FRESH out of rehab, asks her every single question the therapist told him not to ask, and then never talks about it again. This video was her downfall. Shes in the worst state we've ever seen her in and suddenly her 'best friend' shane is nowhere to be found. He took advantage of this poor girl's disorder and naive attitude for money. He still makes money off of this video, despite his 'best friend' literally withering away. It's heart wrenching to see how money obsessed people are, that they'd manipulate vulnerable people like this.

shane is probably one of the most disgusting human beings ever- you can really feel his “god complex” kick in for “helping and being ‘kind’ to the girl on the brink of death”. seeing eugenia now and even then, you can just look in her eyes and see the pain, the trauma, the hurt, the shamefulness. it hurts my heart so bad for her, knowing that she deep down inside is a good person, she has so many people rooting for her. we’ve all watched her slow slow ten year suicide and i wonder if this year is the year. every single video she posts or livestream she does, she looks worse.

"You're drinking a flavored diet coke, something must be wrong" 😂😂

Wtf how was that an hour video? It felt like 15 minutes max. :0

I wish she could see how absolutely beautiful, happy, and healthy she looks in this video. You deserve to live a healthy and long life, Eugenia. Please try to get better. You don’t need to do this to yourself, please get help or allow somebody to help you. As of late 2023, this is not at all how you should be living.

Having been inpatient before myself. It’s so hard to hear her say like “I did what I had to do” and just kinda avoiding the depth of how bad it got just makes me see myself when I just did it to get everyone off my back and my parents. And I just was so in denial that it was so hard to see myself at a healthy weight happily. And I realized like I can’t actually get better until I really admit that I was sick and I was in a bad state and realize that I need to choose recovery 100% or I would eventually relapse one way or another. And I just hope she can see herself in a manner that she both needs and wants to get better. I know how hard it is and I hope it gets better for her..

Shane explaining "And I oop-" was literally the *ONLY* way this video could've ended

Wow "disgusting bag of bones" people actually have no hearts

33 Million Views. You made bank. Id have so much more respect for things like this that arent Monetized. Just another cash grab. How Sad.

I had to come back and delete my old comments. So disappointed in her. I truly can't even feel bad for her anymore. Rest in peace.

Shane teaching Eugenia about the 'And I oop -' meme is the purest thing ever ❤️ I am incredibly proud of her!! Good luck Eugenia

She has a rly pretty smile... like i see her smile and it makes me smile too... just... soooooo pretty

*WELL SHANE , SHES LITERALLY ON DEATHS DOORS …., WILL U HELP HER NOW* ?

Looking back in 2023, we all know shane was not the one who should have done this, but so far hes the only one that has been in that house and had to be around that mother. He himself is shocked at everything that is going on, from the locks on the door to the attorney never leaving. At the very least he’s exposing the abuse that her mother is inflicting. He genuinely is scared for his friend after seeing the way she lives.

when she says “i know i look really bad here.” she looked her best and healthiest it’s crazy how our brains can trick us into thinking things about ourselves.

Anybody get the Gypsy Rose Blanchard vibes

She has such a beautiful face. I couldn't stop looking at her eyes and freckles and symmetry. Such a beautiful soul and soft person. Such a pity she is suffering like this. I know this video is old and her obsession still continues. I hope she is able to make a full recovery and tell her story eventually with no shame.

Why would you ask all the things the therapiat told you not to ask?

*"Oh you're drinking a flavored diet Coke, something must be wrong"*

her eyes looked so sad when shane was talking to her on the bed. aw my heart. she’s such a beautiful girl, i wish her nothing but the best

Watching this again now is just heartbreaking. I've been there. Shes so strong for opening up to the world about what is happening with her. It's rough I send good vibes for her

2023 the fact that the guy in the orange constantly followed Eugenia around and wouldn’t give her space SCREAMS GypsyRose…

Jesus Christ...the intro to this video is killing me with how bad some of those people were trolling/abusing her with those user names and public criticisms and everything. TV doctors intruding into personal life of someone they’ve never met?!? What the hell?!?

I love how he knows something's wrong if hes drinking flavored diet coke

This video should not have been made. So many things Shane did wrong here, he is not a good person and should not have pushed her this far. I feel like this video may have played some sort of role in her relapse.

I just came back to this after watching a live of hers on tik tok and its so crazy because the girl in this video seems like a completely different person than the one i saw on tik tok

32:44 Euginia doesn't even know how to unlock the door of her own home to get out. Let that sink in

I’m sorry but I feel like her and garret could be best friends😂😂😂

Shane is absolutely despicable, and honestly so is Kati for entertaining "both sides" when she could've told Shane maybe he isn't the best person to be interviewing her, especially right out of treatment.

Not only is Eugenia worse than ever & will most likely never recover, she was pretty fresh out of recovery here. He shouldn’t have put her in camera when she was probably really struggling seeing herself in recovery at a more healthy state. You are not her friend & you never were

shane explaining and i oop meme to eugenia is the type of content i didn’t know i needed

no one: Eugenia: 💞💕💘💝💗💜💟💫:D💫💜:)

She’ll never be the same again. :(
